No, carbon dioxide is produced through cellular respiration. If cells could just break down carbon dioxide the production of ATP would not work.

Cells don't catabolize carbon dioxide because most of the available electron energy was released by the time CO2 was formed.

How does carbon dioxide and water moves in out of a cell?

The carbon dioxide will move in because if the amount of carbon dioxide fluid is greater outside the cell then the carbon dioxide will diffuse in so that the amount of carbon dioxide inside and outside of the cell will be an equillibrium

Which gas is absorbed by the palisade cell?

Carbon dioxide is absorbed by the palisade cell. The palisade cell is a plant cell and without them the plant would die. Plants need carbon dioxide so they can produce food. Through photosynthesis (when a plant uses light to convert carbon dioxide into food).

Why does carbon dioxide leave the cell during cellular respiration?

Carbon dioxide leaves a cell during cellular respiration because it is a waste to the human body and other mammals. If carbon dioxide remains in the blood for too long, the individual will pass out. When carbon dioxide leaves the cell, it leaves our body when we exhale.

Where is oxygen switched with carbon dioxide?

Oxygen becomes carbon dioxide when it acts as a means of transporting carbon out of the cell. Oxygen (O2) is brought to any cell in the body by the bloodstream, where it picks up some of the cells carbon (C) waste. Hence, it becomes CO2, or carbon dioxide.
